Men's BB Falls At St. Olaf

Hamline's men's BB team fell into a hole late in the first half at St. Olaf and couldn't claw their way back. The result was a 77-70 setback that dropped the Pipers to 10-9 overall, 8-6 in the MIAC. The Pipers fell to fifth place, a game behind Augsburg in the tight MIAC race. Ironically, their next game is against the Auggies Wednesday night at Hutton Arena.

Despite the fact they shot 50 per cent from the field in the first half (including seven three-pointers), HU found themselves on the short end of a 46-36 score at intermission.. That was because the Oles went on a 14-2 run in a four minute span. After that, the final score was the closest Hamline would get for the rest of the game.

Al Tillman came off the bench to lead the Piper offense with 12 points. Mike Campbell scored just one field goal but went 8-9 from the free throw line and had four steals. For the game, the Pipers connected on 12 treys, their second best output of the season. But they also committed 17 turnovers and were victimized for 10 steals. Hamline did outrebound St. Olaf, 35-34 with Campbell and Dior Ford leading the way with five each.
